Subject: [PATCH 5.14 043/849] ALSA: hda: Free card instance properly at probe errors

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 39173303c83859723dab32c2abfb97296d6af3bf upstream.

The recent change in hda-intel driver to allow repeated probes
surfaced a problem that has been hidden until; the probe process in
the work calls azx_free() at the error path, and this skips the card
free process that eventually releases codec instances.  As a result,
we get a kernel WARNING like:

  snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Cannot probe codecs, giving up
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 186 at sound/hda/hdac_bus.c:73
  ....

For fixing this, we need to call snd_card_free() instead of
azx_free().  Additionally, the device drvdata has to be cleared, as
the driver binding itself is still active.  Then the PM and other
driver callbacks will ignore the procedure.
